We use Hulu Plus for some movies but mostly to watch series like Orville, Elementary, The Handmaid's Tale, Seinfeld, 30 Rock, Shades of Blue, Fargo, How to Get Away With Murder and Brooklyn 99. ($8 a month)

On rare occasion we rent a movie through Apple TV. ($3.99-5.99 a movie, no monthly fee)

We stream The Blacklist via the NBC app. (free)

For the Olympics and news, I use the web. (Starting with Twitter to locate stories of interest. I follow ~400 newsmakers, reporters and publishers, but block anyone who tries to follow me. I AM the audience there: I don't want an audience. :0))

We do not have cable, Direct or Satellite TV. We pay $55 a month for hi speed wireless broadband internet services and $50 a month for DH's cellphone.

I couldn't care less if I keep current with 99% of what is broadcast. Indeed, I rather prefer not to. Outside of the Tour and the Olympics, I can't sit still long enough to watch sports. And the truth is, I almost always fall asleep to whatever it is we are watching anyway.
